Maja disappeared and nobody searched: a story exposing a system gap

Maja had run away from home many times, so when she didn't come home overnight and turned off her phone, no one launched an immediate search. Bartek — the boyfriend suspected of involvement in her disappearance — was extradited from abroad to Poland over eight months in connection with charges of her murder. Maja's story shows how treating young runaways as harmless can end in tragedy.
